  the 
  ininiito 
  tooth 
  at 
  the

  of 
  the

  the 
  

   bicnloarato

  The 
  strongly 
  roinuled 
  and 
  collifornily 
  

   produced 
  propodeum 
  is 
  exactly 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  Fodogaster 
  Brulld 
  and 
  

   Clatha 
  Cameron, 
  and 
  the 
  three 
  genera 
  I 
  believe 
  to 
  be 
  closely 
  related.

  I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  a 
  membei- 
  of 
  this 
  genus, 
  but 
  despite 
  the 
  antefurcal 
  

   second 
  recurrent 
  I 
  was 
  inclined 
  to 
  relegate 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  Therionini, 
  in 
  

   which 
  tribe 
  a 
  few 
  genera 
  have 
  that 
  character, 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  acute 
  

   rlypeus, 
  the 
  prolongation 
  of 
  the 
  propodeum 
  over 
  the 
  hind 
  coxae, 
  the 
  

   low 
  fracture 
  of 
  the 
  nervollus, 
  the 
  long 
  second 
  tergite 
  and 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  

   the 
  genotype. 
  This 
  placing 
  was 
  confirmed 
  by 
  Mr, 
  Perkins, 
  who 
  adds 
  

   two 
  therionine 
  characters: 
  front 
  tibia 
  with 
  an 
  apical 
  tooth; 
  occipital 
  

   carina 
  closer 
  to 
  ocelli 
  than 
  posterior 
  ocelli 
  arc 
  to 
  each 
  other.

  Morley 
  correctly 
  disposed 
  of 
  this 
  genus, 
  which 
  was 
  placed 
  originally 
  

   by 
  Cameron 
  in 
  the 
  Anomalini 
  and 
  transferred 
  by 
  Dalla 
  Torre 
  to 
  the 
  

   Ophionini 
  in 
  1902, 
  when 
  he 
  said 
  it 
  "is 
  actually 
  quite 
  closely 
  allied 
  to, 
  

   if 
  not 
  synonymous 
  with

  In 
  his 
  letter 
  transmitting 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  genotype 
  Dr. 
  Townes 
  

   suggested 
  that 
  this 
  genus, 
  desj)ite 
  its 
  anomalous 
  venation 
  and 
  anten- 
  

   nae, 
  should 
  be 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  Camp()])legini. 
  With 
  this 
  suggestion 
  

   I 
  concur. 
  The 
  lack 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  inlerciibitus 
  and 
  the 
  clavate 
  antenmie 
  

   appear 
  to 
  be 
  nu're 
  anomalies, 
  for 
  the 
  \n 
  hole 
  conformation 
  of 
  the 
  ab- 
  

   domen 
  is 
  distinctly 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  < 
  'ampopU 
  <)idea 
  , 
  as 
  aro 
  also 
  the 
  un- 
  

   separated 
  clypous, 
  the 
  Inck 
  of 
  notauliccs, 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  the 
  

   postpectiis, 
  the 
  form 
  and

  of 
  the
